Hyperbole User Manual

2.2 Building

The following explains how to Use the Hyperbole `Makefile' to compile any needed code, to generate the `hsite.el' file used for site-specific Hyperbole customization, and to produce printable documentation.

Edit the line near the top of `Makefile' that represents the emacs version that you use, so that it corresponds to the emacs executable name used on your system. Then immediatly below there, set the EMACS variable to the variable name for the emacs that you will use to compile the Hyperbole Lisp files.

You may also have to set the SITE-PRELOADS variable defined further down in the file; follow the instructions that precede the SITE-PRELOADS = line. Make these changes now and save the `Makefile'.

The following instructions use the term `<HYPERBOLE-DIR>/' to refer to your `hyperbole/' directory, so substitute your own value.

To install Hyperbole for use with InfoDock, XEmacs, GNU Emacs or Epoch, from a shell:

cd <HYPERBOLE-DIR>; make

All of the .elc compiled Lisp files are already built for XEmacs and V19, so this build will finish very quickly. If you really want to rebuild all of the .elc files, use:

cd <HYPERBOLE-DIR>; make all-elc

To produce the Postscript version of the Hyperbole manual, you must have the TeX formatter on your system:

cd <HYPERBOLE-DIR>; make ps

To install Hyperbole for use with GNU Emacs V18 or Epoch:

cd <HYPERBOLE-DIR>; make all-elc-v18

This will produce a complete set of Emacs V18 .elc files.
